About Us

The Food Council MRA is a non-profit organization that promotes sustainable, healthy food and its availability for the rich and poor.

Through different types of projects, we link initiatives by citizens, entrepreneurs and the government to jointly devise solutions to the food issue.

Our Approach

Food Council MRA brings together doers and thinkers from across country and various sectors and disciplines to map out opportunities, start projects and give advice to governments, companies and citizens.

We have a 3 fold approach to achieve our mission, embodying the roles of:

Initiator

We plant the seeds for change by generating new partnerships and building the structures that allow movements to grow.

Faciliator

We provide a platform and essential information, and practical support that grassroots efforts need to survive and thrive

Connector

We bridge the gap between citizens, businesses, governments, & farmers, turning isolated efforts into a shared network
